Any runners out there?

Question

I am 20 weeks and have been running. My belly is starting to bounce when I run. Sometimes it hurts after. I know running in general is safe during pregnancy but is that normal? If so, did it stop you from running?

Answer

I stopped running around 30 weeks because my joints were hurting and I felt huge but I used a belly band to help with the bouncy feeling!

Answer

Am a runner when I got pregnant I stopped running

Answer

I'm a runner but also stopped running when I got pregnant. I was way too sick and worn out during the first 16 weeks of my pregnancy and once I started feeling better I didn't want to overdue it so I switched to walking instead. Even just walking I have a lot of ligament pain at only 25 weeks. I wear a belly band but it only helps a little. I may go try to do some pool running instead. I think listening to what your body is telling you is important. Don't be afraid to slow down or do something differently if you need to!

Answer

How far do you run usually?

Answer

Maybe get a tighter belly band target has them for support for your tummy

Answer

I ran till 30 weeks, at that point my belly would be sore for 5 days after a modest 3-mile run. I wore a belly support belt toward the end and wouldn't have been able to do more than one mile without it.

Answer

I kept running through the first trimester. It became a bit too much so I just dialed back and walked  for the rest of my pregnancy. I tried to stay active, helped me through the physical discomfort.
